Please can you specify what problems you are encountering in the random image code and make the thread more detailed like puttung if you are going to use the accelormeter or touch and if you are doing it in 3d wireframe or just flat images..

i like to put it in 3d framewire but not sure how to
i making it acclermonter
i just need a simple random image code si the images load randomly

ok thanks,
one thing is that you won't be able to make the cubes have sides coloured becuase the 3d engine at the moment only allows lines to be draw(unless you try to draw lots of line filling out the sides)
And also this will be very hard to implent the enigne into a game...
Ill edit this post later with a random generating script

ok ill just use flat square instead

[lsquish]

heres the random script, i hope i explained it well...

width=screen.width()
height=screen.height() --set the screensize


randomn=0 --this is the variable that decides wehter he moves left, right....

yellow=image.load("ENTER IMAGE NAME HERE.png")
orange=image.load("ENTER IMAGE NAME HERE.png")
red=image.load("ENTER IMAGE NAME HERE.png")
nextcubeIMG=red


function drawgame()
screen.fillrect(0,0,width,height,white); --draw the background
cubeIMG:draw(cubeX,cubeY) -- draw the person
screen.update()
end

function colorcheck()
randomn=math.random(1,3) --set random to 1,2,3or4
if randomn==1 then
nextcubeIMG=red
end
if randomn==2 then
nextcubeIMG=yellow
end
if randomn==3 then
nextcubeIMG=orange
end
nextcubeIMG=cubeIMG --you can make this bit change the cube about to appear on screen
end

while true do -- forever
colorcheck()
drawgame() --excutes the function drawgame()
os.sleep(50) --wait a bit
end

thanks latr on today ill post up a beta version

[nikc4]

Any updates on this? I was really looking forward to a beta, since I loved playing this game on the computer. Just wondering. I know programming can be difficult, I had trouble with just basic stuff, so I'm not trying to rush you, I was just interested in how the progress is.

when do you release the game?

As we have said before, please refrain from asking this kind of questions. We release when we can, no sooner, no later.
And as mentioned in another thread, Keirien is most likely not returning to the forums it seems.

Well then, someone else needs to make it! cube runner would be awesome, if the accelerometer function works as well as it does on falling balls

It's not such an easy task to make as it might seem, and we others have our own projects we're interested in.
